fideranno

Fideranno is a fictional municipality created for contemporary Italian-language fantasy literature. It is depicted as a coastal town that blends maritime trade with hillside architecture along a crescent bay.

The old town sits on a hill above a protected harbor, with a fortress at the summit and a network of narrow lanes leading to a modern waterfront.

In the fiction, Fideranno was founded in the 12th century by ferrymen and merchants. It passed through various coastal lordships, endured sieges, and rebuilt after a major fire in the 16th century.

The municipality is governed by a mayor and council, with committees for culture, economy, and public works. It follows a civil code shared with nearby regions within the fictional realm.

Economy centers on fishing, boatbuilding, and crafts. Cultural life features a weekly market, a summer theater festival, and the Festa del Porto, a lantern-lit harbor celebration. Local cuisine blends seafood with citrus and herbs.

Notable landmarks include the Hilltop Fortress of Aster and the Cathedral of Santa Mirra, with the Market Loggia serving as a social hub. A coastal road connects Fideranno to neighboring settlements.
